Hello, I am Miss Young. A scammer often fails in making his victim pay him money. But he does not give up if he thinks it is still possible to convince the victim. He could try a new scam with hidden millions or a big lottery winning. Another approach is a compensation letter where he promises the victim a big sum as compensation. The compensation money does not exist, - it is simply the start of a new scam. The letter below is an example of such a letter.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

I am very happy to inform you about my success in getting that fund transferred. Now I want you to contact my secretary on his email address below and receive your compensation of $800.000.00 us dollars from him:

Note that if you did not send him the above information complete, he will not release the cheque to you because he has to be sure that it is you. Ask him to send you the total sum of ($800.000.00) USD CASHIER'S CHEQUE, which I kept for you. Note also that I will not be reached by email or phone for now because I am currently away in Japan for investment purpose with my share and I will be busy till about six months time or a year.

Well in due respect , i have received your email in regards to your certified bank draft worth the sum of $800,000.00usd together with all the required information necessary for sending it to your address without any further delay.Perhaps, everything you have said is well understood and noted. And in this regards, i hereby wish to inform you that i am a God fearing man and as in regards to my personality, i would be the last person to guilt on my fellow human being.Therefore, you should not panic for whatsoever you are doing with me because all i am doing, trying over here is to make sure that you funds get to your address without any problem.

Therefore, you are to choose any of the options that you would like to make the delivery to your address and can as well afford their shipment fee and the diplomatic immunity seal charge as you can see their total below.
